They had gotten back from saving La'gaan, Jamie, Beast Boy, and Bart from Black Manta's ship just 3 days ago. Now Nightwing, Batman, Red Arrow, Green Arrow, Kid Flash, Flash, and Impulse all stood in an abandoned Wayne warehouse on the south side of Gotham.

" You all know why were here," said Batman, " we need to discuss plans, actions, everything to make sure that this doesn't happen again." He pulled out a news paper the title saying, Hidden Volcano in Happy Harbor?

" We lost Mount Justice, some of you could have been killed. That's why you 4 are here we think that you would know he best place for a new base. Since you would be the ones using it." Batman told the young heros.

" I'm not part of the team anymore, Roy's part of the Justice League, and Bart just got here from the future," Wally pointed out, " other than Nightwing why would you chose us to pick a new location, especially for something this big?"

Flash came up and put a hand on his shoulder.

" We picked each of you because this place need's to be secretive, common, non logical, and something that we know can last in the future," Flash said looking at each of them, " but over all we trust you to make the right decision."

" So where do you think it should be?" asked Roy.

Before anyone could answer though a big, yellow vortex appeared.

" Oh no," said Bart staring at it.

" Oh, no? Oh no what?" asked Wally. Suddenly they were all pulled in and they vanished. Leaving the warehouse empty.

The vortex appeared in the sky and through it they fell.

" Ugh..what is this place?" asked Green Arrow as he stood up shocked at what he saw around him.

The land was all rocky and plain. There was no grass and all the tree's were dead. There was a big crater in the ground. What shocked them most of all though was the sky. It was filled with clouds and the sun barely shown through. Gray dots started falling from the sky and Nightwing caught one in his hand.

" What is this, snow?" he asked.

" No," Batman said, " it's ash."

" Where are we?" asked Roy.

" Bart where are we?" Wally asked him. Bart looked around and saw eveyone was staring at him. He put on his normal serious face, there was no need for the mask anymore.

" This is where I come from. 40 years in your future," he told them.

" What happened?" Barry asked motioning to everything.

" A lot of bad things," Bart said, " Now we need to get changed, stay here," he told them before he zoomed off.

He was back in about a mintue with tattered coats, pants, and shirts. He was already changed into his clothes.

" Put these on and hurry," Bart told them throwing the pile of clothes on the ground.

" Why should we were superheros," Green Arrown told him.

" Your only a superhero if you have a death wish now put those on," Bart said with all seriousness in his voice.

Shocked they started putting the old, ruged, clothes on.

" What are we suppose to do with our costumes?" asked Barry holding his up.

" Throw them down on the ground and leave them. Now let's get back to Nathaniel." Bart said walking away then he turned around. " Leave everything no weapons, no utility belt, nothing, and under no circumstances," he said looking at Wally and Barry," are you to use your superspeed."

" Explain no circumstance," said Wally.

" If one of us is dying or dead or you could stop us from dying with your speed you do not use it. Are we clear?" Bart asked the 2 men.

" Crystal," said Barry.

" Now lets get moving," Bart said walking away the others following. They walked for hours until Bart stopped. His eyes widened.

" No," he gasped. Bart sprinted towards a hole in the ground and he climbed in.

" Bart what's wrong?" Barry asked catching up to his grandson.

" Everything's still here, but hes not here. He knew to stay, he had the supplies, somethings wrong," Bart said looking at them. Just by saying that they were surronded by robots with the Reach sign on them. All of them gathered in a huddle in the middle.

" What should we do?" asked Dick.

" Don't do anything and don't use your powers," said Bart.

Out of the crowd of robots walked a big person. Not just any person, it was Blue Beetle.

" Ah meat, I see you have joined with a group of what civilians. How nice trying to protect them. Now all of you kneel." Blue Beetle ordered them.

Roy was about to speak out but Bart gave him a glare that would silence Batman. So they all followed Bart as he went to kneel on the ground. They watched as Blue Beetle walked closer and closer to Bart. He pulled something out a clamped it around Bart's neck. Blue pulled out a remote to the inhinbitor collar that now hung around Bart's neck.

" You will learn not to disobey me again. And you meat," he said looking at the others," Will learn what happens when you don't obey me."
